We were instructed to design the courtyard and a section of garden next to a new extension. This needed to incorporate a seating terrace, a new lawn and to blend with the house, which was built out of now unavailable Dundry stone.
We created an offset, stepped walkway along the sloping length of the property, flanked by deep planting. A generous seating terrace was created at the top, enclosed by Purbeck stone clad walls, coped with hand-cropped granite.
Buff limestone paving was used for the terrace and again as an extended horizontal step tread detail, where Purbeck stone was reused to face the risers.
A reflecting pool using the same stonewalling treatment was created in the courtyard and surrounded by verdant shady planting.
CLIENT RESPONSE
From our first interaction with Will and Jamie we felt they understood what we were hoping to achieve and through their creatively and expertise we have a beautifully landscaped rural garden that we are able to enjoy throughout all seasons. – S + S
